What Captains Said?

Colin Munro, Brisbane Heat Captain

Matt Short, Adelaide Strikers Captain

We were also planning to bowl, so it’s a nice toss to lose. We’ll see how it goes. The past couple of weeks have been frustrating, but my toe is finally alright, and I can move around. It’s nice to be back. If I can use my bat without hurting my foot, we should be fine. There are four changes in our lineup: Buckingham and Haskett are making their first appearances for the Adelaide Strikers, joining Alex Carey and me. Boyce, Bazley, Thornton, and Weatherald miss out. Having Carey back is huge; he brings a lot of experience and loves batting here as well.
